I must have missed that discussion, because I'd've chimed in that while
backlighting e-ink is impossible due to its opacity, some sort of frontlighting is an interesting idea. I've actually been talking about it since some time in '06, I think.
The frontlight cover that Sony recently put out is an obvious evidence that the concept works.
